How to configure welcome pages in your store?

All you need to do is to use Welcome pages management option, which can be used to manage entry pages. It is possible to set a particular page as a gate, through which the customer will have to pass to get to your store. Welcome page can - for example - contain statement of adulthood, can be a login page or maybe attractive flash presentation. To create such page, click on Add page in the top bar - page setting form will be displayed.

List of all created welcome page has a form of a table. Verses are names of welcome pages and columns are names of stores. To each of them you can assign one welcome page. The same welcome page can be assigned to multiple stores. To assign such entry page, just mark proper checkbox. To turn welcome page off, mark the No welcome page field. Operations column allows to modify page look or delete it, if it is not currently in use.

Correct setup of welcome page takes only two actions:

add new welcome page or select earlier-created one for your shop (or stores),

press Save pages settings.

A message displayed on page will inform you about the operation outcome.

If there is no welcome page set in the store, system creates shortcut - it goes by the index.php page and lands you on main.php directly. It avoids using redirection, which can lower PageRank for main page or make tracking it harder.

It allows to create, edit and set welcome page displayed at shop entrance. Editor allows to use text, graphical and multimedia elements and restore latest active page version.

Editing and publishing operations are separated - every entered change needs to be saved and then published. Saving changes does not mean that they will be instantly visible on-line. This way you can save your work multiple times, not to loose any results of your work, and publish changes, when you will think the page is complete, by clicking on Save pages settings on list of all welcome pages.

Welcome page edition tool is divided into sections that correspond to HTML document structure, where you can enter Title, Keywords, Description, Tags, Style and Content. Use the Preview function before publishing page content, so you can be sure everything is O.K.
